What to bring to the hospital....First Few weeks with Baby! & 21 Day Fix Challenge, Results Here I Come! After Baby Weight loss, Made EASY!

My sweet little loud lungs (yes, she scream cries now lol) is now 3 weeks and 3 days old! 

                                                      Day 2                      3 weeks! (Getting so big!)

We are now pumping and bottle feeding exclusively because I could not get her to latch on really well. I think it was more stressful for both of us. I wish I could get her to breast feed, and I do still try to get her on, but its just not happening for us yet! 

As far as being a new mommy goes... It has been VERY interesting to say the least. If I am being 100% honest it is challenging. I find its hard to do much when I am pumping, then feeding her, then changing her, and getting her to fall asleep enough to lay her down. LOL 

Yes, I am a new mom and I LOVE to hold and snuggle my little angel, so she is getting a little more difficult to put to sleep. 

The second week home she was up all night and slept all day, but as of Monday she has been sleeping through the night except to eat! Which is amazing! :)

She has been more fussy though when she needs something or fighting sleep.We are co sleeping with her and she loves it, and it makes it much easier to soothe her at night along with feeding her and changing her.

 I have also been taking a bath with her, she likes it much better, she floats and kicks and makes little noises! Its so cute!! :)

Before you go to the hospital add these things to your shopping list so they are at your house when you get home from the hospital!
* Stool softener
* Tucks 
* Pads- the bigger ones and the smaller ones, in case you stop bleeding heavy earlier
* Granny Panties 
* Ibuprofen
*Nursing Bra with under wire and light padding (you will want to feel less like a cow and more lady like again LOL)
*Lanolin cream (for your tots, get two)
*Breast milk freezer bags
* Dr. Teals Bath salts, or the relaxing bubble bath
*Lidocain spray

If you have the energy make some meals that you can freeze for the first week, or request them from family. We had enough for two weeks and it made life so much easier!! And we had more time to spend staring at our little pretty one! :) 

FITNESS AFTER BABY
Monday was my FIRST day back at it in a challenge (I am co-hosting the 21 Day Fix Challenge) I got my program today so I have been following pintrest workouts, and watching what I am eating, along with drinking my Shakeology, yes my Doctor approves!! 



I thought I would be able to jump right into it, but to be honest I have been so sore, and tired after my workouts. If I wasn't drinking Shakeology I would have no energy. 

I am ready to start getting some results and sharing them with you!! Stay tuned for my FIRST transformation!  

And I decided to change the date for my next Fix challenge group so you can shed the pounds to prepare you for Thanksgiving! It will start November 3rd now!!!

Bringing Home Baby! & My NEW Weight Loss Journey

On September 21st 2014 our lives changed! 

We couldnt have been more excited, our sweet little 

Larae Elise Lapinski was born at 10:35pm. 

This picture was taken 2 day before she was born, I was 39 weeks and 2 days when she was born.

So here is a small little tid bit about how labor went. I started having contractions at 6am that morning, the quickly went from 20 minutes apart to 10 minutes apart then to 7. So my husband Jesse and I got ready called the hospital and we were on our way in. When we go there I was admitted, and we walked around the hospital to waste time and to get through the contractions. Around 2 or 3pm is when they started to get stronger so I decided to get an epidural... That didn’t work, so they decided to move it. Nope, that didn’t work either. So I got an intrathecal. That worked great, but only lasted 2 hours, so by the time I could start to feel my contractions again and called the anesthesiologist back so I could get a second shot, I thought I was going to die. It was so painful! (I know I am a wimp!) 

***Props to all women who do it naturally!!***

Once I got the second intrathecal things started to move along, there was a moment where we thought we would have to do a C-section because her heart rate kept going up and down like crazy, and the had me on oxygen to help regulate it. Luckily my doctor knew how I felt about having a C-section and how I wanted to do skin to skin right away, so we didn’t have to go down that path. We then got closer to the 2-hour mark again and my doctor wanted to get her out so I wouldn’t need another shot (that would raise the risk of side effects for me). So we pushed things along and I finally dilated to a 10!!! Luckily I only pushed for about 10 minutes and this beautiful little girl arrived! 

After she was born we got her right on my chest, we waited until her umbilical cord stopped pulsating, and Jesse cut the cord! We also did skin to skin for a good hour- hour and a half before they took her to weigh her and measure her. She was 6lbs 2oz, and 18.5 inches long! 

Now time for my TRANSFORMATION!!!!!

When I walked into the hospital to have her I weighed 205lbs.... I know, how in the world did I let myself get that big, I gained 40 pounds on the dot. I know people do gain more, but coming from someone who is active, and knows how to eat healthy, how did I gain that much!?!? To be honest, I craved cereal and sweets 24-7, and I didn’t always hold back. It also didn’t help that I started this pregnancy bigger than I wanted to. Before we got pregnant with Larae, I had my second miscarriage, which was very hard on me and I really ate my feelings, we also found out it was going to be challenging to get pregnant because I had polycystic ovaries. Well, my doctor put me on metformin to help force ovulation, and BOOM two weeks later we were pregnant again! I then went in to the clinic right away and my doctor started me on progesterone (to help my placenta grow for the baby). So our journey has been a long one. Over all we tried for this little angel for over a year.
